Is the Classroom Holding You Back?

From the neon lights of Nashville's Broadway to the historic rhythm of Memphis' Beale Street, the demand for professional security guards in Tennessee is exploding. But for years, getting licensed meant one thing: losing days of pay to sit in a crowded classroom.

Not anymore.

At Alliance Training and Testing, we have built Tennessee's first fully digital security academy. We are breaking down the barriers to your new career with a 100% online, state-approved training platform that fits your schedule—not the other way around.

Why 100% Online Training is the Future

Traditional security academies require you to drive to a facility, pay for parking, and sit through 8+ hours of lectures. Our online platform creates a frictionless experience for students across the Volunteer State, from Knoxville to Chattanooga and the Delta.

• Study on Your Schedule: Early bird or night owl? Our course is available 24/7.
• Mobile-Friendly: Complete your training on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
• Instant Gratification: As soon as you pass the final exam, your official certificate is delivered via email within 24 hours. No waiting for snail mail.

Verify Our Authority: We are fully approved by the Tennessee Private Protective Services (TDCI). Your online certificate carries the exact same legal weight as one earned in a physical classroom.

Working Nightlife? You Need "Dallas Law" Certification

If you plan to work in bars, clubs, or any establishment that serves alcohol (especially in nightlife hubs like Nashville or Memphis),checking IDs is just the start.

Under Tennessee's "Dallas Law", security staff in alcohol-serving venues are legally required to complete specific training in:

• De-escalation Techniques
• Safe Restraint Methods
• First Aid & CPR Basics

The Solution: The "Bouncer Bundle"

Don't waste time taking two separate courses. We created the Bouncer Bundle specifically for nightlife professionals. It combines your mandatory Unarmed Security License training (or renewal) with the Dallas Law certification.

• New Guards: Get your Unarmed License + Dallas Law in one go.
• Renewals: Knock out your State Renewal + Dallas Law Refresher in a single night.
